The Legal Framework for the Child-Centered Process, an electronic format that summarizes state and federal requirements for special education, the Guide to the Admission, Review, and Dismissal Process and the Notice of Procedural Safeguards can be accessed through http://framework.esc18.net/.

Special Education Records Requests:TEC 7.010 requires student records and transcripts be sent electronically, including a student's course or grade completion, teachers of record, assessment instrument results, placement in special education, IEP, and personal graduation plans.

In an effort to comply with Texas Education Agency regulations, the Joshua ISD Special Education Department will transmit ALL records requests electronically. All requests for records will be handled via TREx, unless the sending/receiving school is located out-of-state. In the case of out-of-state requests, email will be used for the transfer of records. If you have any questions, please contact Maria Ibarra at extension 1001. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in helping us comply with TEA regulations.
